I'd almost guarantee it's the Buffalo WHR-G54S. I've only one so far.
It's been at grandma's house doing a 300' link in client mode. It's
been installed almost a year now, without a hiccup (not even a reboot as
far as I know). Believe it or not, Grandma's picky. And, I she's an
hour away so I needed something reliable.
WR850G, Very stable and in the $30~35 range. I have a number of WHR's
also and they are good as are the F5D's
It's practically the same hardware as the WRT-54G V1-4 (not the neutered
version 5). It's only got one external antenna. But, I'm using the
stock di-pole for the 300' window-to-window link. I love it.

$45 (regularly $50)
WR850G is $30ish
And, check out http://www.dd-wrt.com
This is a GREAT hack of the linksys firmware. Has PPTP, VLAN, QOS, SER
(VOIP), SSH, HTTPS, Samba, client mode, etc. Great GUI and even skins.
If you find a cheaper product, let me know.

DDWRT v22/23 is based on OpenWRT. It supports everything DDWRT does
and far far more. You just need to compile it yourself (the best way)
and select what you need.
PS
